A standardized exam is used in counseling (Matějček, Žlab)

The so-called Edinburgh exam is used abroad.

Principles:

  1. Not to tell the child the purpose of the examination, but to say, for example, "I would like to know how handy you are."
  2. Not to determine which hand the child should use, to create the same opportunity for both hands, only on the second attempt to require performance with the other hand.
  3. Use secondary diagnostic data
  4. Respect general diagnostic and ethical principles
